About this House

This home is a perfect fixer upper and great investment possibility. TLC needed but lots of room on the main and in the lower level. Great open floor plan with big bedrooms and two of the bedrooms are ready for private bathroom areas. Lower level is huge with lots of possibilities and more sq. footage than the assessor's page shows. Lots of work started.....just needs to be completed. This home sits on three city lots and the back is fenced. Big garage and attached shed area. Great flip for the right person, good for a rental or even better for an individual to make this their personal home....lots of equity for the right person. Home is also located in the NFC area so you can take advantage of the NFC grants and financing.

We've moved around so my kids have attended several different schools before selling in at Stowe. We love it. Class sizes seem smaller and everyone- from the front office to the principal- is genuinely interested in the students success. I feel like i could bring any concern i had directly to the faculty and they would be non-judgmental and helpful...(although we've yet to encounter problems!)

"Quiet area with sidewalks to take dogs for walks. Would recommend having a fenced in backyard for your dog where you frequently check on them when outside as kids/adults alike walking around can intentionally tease, agitate your dog. Some don't take good care of their dog and dogs run loose so if you love dogs, you'll constantly be taking dogs in to try to find their owners and return them to safety instead of dumping them at ARL, which has a kill policy.
